Welcome to FinFest Week 2026, proudly brought to you by Betashares. Over the coming week we’re releasing 10 of our favourite sessions, recorded live at FinFest, Australia’s largest finance festival.
Next up is The Company Built to Compound for Decades with Todd Barlow, CEO and Managing Director of Soul Patts since 2015. Some companies keep compounding for generations, and Bryce & Ren wanted to know what it takes to build one that lasts.
Missed a session on the day? We’re getting all 43 FinFest sessions ready to release on our YouTube channel by 30 November.
